Que?

No, not quoting Manuel, but 🥴 at the number of posters on here that use ‘que’ for ‘queue’. Yesterday, someone had further Manuel-ed it up by adding an accent, ‘qué’ when they actually meant queue.

Does it not just look wrong? I just don’t get it.

On a similar thread recently, someone mentioned seeing skate goat.

The image in my head🤣🤣🤣 My goat is skateboarding rather than roller skating ...

That gets on my goat 🐐 ...

This thread has cheered me every time it has popped back up in my Threads I'm On today, because I hear it in my head every time as "¿Qué?"

Isn't "gets on my goat" a Kath and Kim-ism? Or is that "gets right up my goat?" It's been a while so my memory is hazy.

Aah, you all need to reign it in.

The one that’s suddenly surging on Mn is ‘passed’ for ‘past’, eg. ‘I left plenty of room for other cars to get passed’.

I'm a book editor and I've corrected passed/past twice today!

Also leapt on DD when she said wondering instead of wandering. I must be hell to live with, to be fair
